Our production support philosophy centers on proactive problem-solving and meticulous attention to detail. We understand that successful productions require more than just technical expertise—they demand cultural understanding, local knowledge, and seamless coordination across multiple departments. Our bilingual English-Chinese team serves as your cultural bridge, ensuring clear communication between international production teams and local crews, vendors, and authorities. This linguistic and cultural fluency has proven invaluable for the numerous Fortune 500 companies, international brands, media organizations, and major sporting events we’ve supported since 2012.
The scope of our production support services encompasses every phase of production. During pre-production, we assist with location scouting, permit acquisition, budget planning, and scheduling. Our network of location fixers and managers spans all major Chinese cities, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and beyond, ensuring we can find the perfect settings to match your creative requirements. We navigate China’s complex regulatory landscape, securing all necessary filming permits and coordinating with local authorities to prevent disruptions.
During production, our support extends to crew coordination, equipment management, and on-set problem resolution. We provide access to state-of-the-art equipment rentals, including professional cameras, lighting systems, grip tools, and audio equipment. Our roster of skilled professionals includes cameramen, videographers, cinematographers, gaffers, sound operators, and production assistants who understand international production standards while being well-versed in local working methods. We handle accommodation, transportation, and catering logistics, ensuring your team remains focused and productive throughout the shooting schedule.
Post-production support includes coordinating with editing facilities, color grading studios, and sound mixing houses.
